The only way to get a precise image of the earth would be to photograph it from space, but if the flat earth theory is true we cannot go into space, so this is not possible.
Why not? Is this flat earth sitting inside a box which prohibits travel above a certain height? Besides, if the north pole is the centre, then you have a reference point from which to perform a bunch of geometry from. Producing a geographically true map of a flat earth without satellite imagery shouldn't be that hard.

Cas has already pointed out one stream of orbital imagery. There's also the
USGS,
ESA and
NOAA. As for why you wont find much of the imagery on social media, we have the infrastructure to support and share millions of images per minute, but do not currently the infrastructure to send any Tom, Dick and Harry into orbit. Once you have that infrastructure, then the deluge of user-submitted photos will follow.

Colour differences are largely down to the spectral purposes and specifications of the satellites, and the earth itself. Not only will North America in winter look very different to North America in summer, but the image colours may look different depending on whether a LANDSAT, SPOT or IKONOS satellite was used, for example. Post-processing can also change colours, depending on the needs of the authors.
Another wonder of mine, how does aircraft pilots use of the great-circle route fit into the flat earth theory?
To fully understand the flat earth, you have to start from the beginning.
The flat earth is being hidden from us to deny the existence of God, the creator. The luciferian cults that rule the world want us to think we are insignificant, thats why they have us believing we are living on a spherical planet, one of billions in an infinite universe. We supposedly arrived here totally by accident, in a big bang, which formed the earth, then went on to form all life and plant forms. We are to believe all this happened by accident, all the complex and beautiful creatures we see today, were all formed just by chance.
On top of that the earth is said to spin at 1000 mph, and then the earth is said to orbit around the sun at 70,000 mph, at the same time we are held by the suns gravity while it hurtles at an astonishing 450,000 mph around the galaxy. As if that wasn't bad enough our galaxy is said to be in a constant spinning motion like an enormous pinwheel. We have all that motion yet we don't feel a thing here on earth, and we see the same star formations every night, an amazing feat of juggling by anyone's standards, and we are supposed to believe all this.
To answer your first question, the flat earth theory says the earth is the centre of the universe, it goes around us, the earth is encased in a dome, or firmament as it is called. In the 60s the USA and Russia did high altitude nuclear tests, loads of them, flat earthers say it was an attempt to break through the dome. This can be looked up under operation Dominic and operation fishbowl.
Orbital imagery from the ISS is just computer generated imagery, you can see in the film Gravity how realistic they can make it look. If the images from the ISS are real, why can you never see any satellites on their imagery? There are supposed to be thousands up there, surely you could see one, but you can't see any, and how do all these satellites avoid hitting each other, they must have magnificent collision avoidance systems.
Not sure about the great circle route, but as you mention flying, pilots would have to constantly keep adjusting their planes in a downward curve wouldn't they? in keeping with the curvature of the earth, if they flew in a straight line they would end up flying out into orbit wouldn't they?
Another thing, southern hemisphere flights would be a lot longer on a flat earth.
